Hi,
I'm looking for a cheap used laptop/netbook for cafe surfing. I normally have A LOT of tabs open in Firefox (50 tabs) and I also like to clean up large database collections of ebooks and mp3 files (20,000+ files in Mediamonkey or Calibre.) Other than this I would generally use it for basic computing and troubleshooting my other PC's. (OK without DVD drive.) No gaming or movies.
Found the Acer Aspire 722-BZ454 online for $200 cash, used 3 months.
http/www.acer.it/ac/en/US/content/model/LU.SFT02.002
2Gb DDR3-1066 (up to 4Gb)
250gb 5400 HDD
AMD C-50 1Ghz Dual core, 1M L2
Radeon HD 6250 (256mb I think??)
3 USB ports
HDMI & VGA out
6 hours+ battery life
3lbs -- 11.6" (light weight!)

There is also a Dell Latitude D820 for $100 with bad battery. Probably never cleaned (I'll disassemble.) Probably well-used but in good shape. (I'll end up spending $200 on it.)
Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0Ghz, 4M L2 (unless he's mistaken the 1.8ghz, 2M L2)
2Gb DDR2-533 (Dual Channel!)
80Gb 5400 HDD (+ $75 for new one.)
512Mb Nvidia Turb cache graphics
802.11g
2-3 hour- battery life - needs new battery ($25).
Cd Rom drive
6lbs
